About this quote

This maxim is attributed to Edison from his Menlo Park and West Orange laboratory culture, where improvement and iteration were built into the inventive process. Edison's notebooks — now held at the Edison Papers at Rutgers University — document a systematic approach to finding better methods: each version of the phonograph, the electric lamp filament, and the storage battery was tested, evaluated, and improved upon. The saying captures his empirical philosophy of design.
